Health experts have cautioned Nigerians against eating animals that died before being properly butchered, noting that the consumption of such animals could lead to serious health complications.

The health experts stressed that the consumption of dead animals could also result in the contracting and spreading of zoonotic diseases to the human populace.

The experts also urged Nigerians to be wary of where they buy butchered animals for consumption, noting that dead animals could also be sold to unsuspecting consumers.

They stressed that these dead animals may be sold even at restaurants, noting that Nigerians must be careful where they buy their foods.

According to experts, cooking may not destroy the poison in dead animals.

According to report, the experts, a professor of Public Health, Dr. Tanimola Akande, and a veterinary doctor, Chidozie George, said the reason why eating dead animals is strongly frowned at, is not just because of religious beliefs but because of the public health implications of eating such animals.

Prof. Akande stated that when animals die, they no longer have any circulation maintaining tissues, muscles and organs.

This, he said, increases the chances for germs to increase without internal regulation, adding that these germs may become toxic.
